AFRICAN-AMERICAN ANCESTRY

Nearly 25 million people - 8.8 percent of the U.S. population - claimed African-American heritage in the 2000 census. The map above shows that communities with the highest proportion of African-American population tend to be in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest.

ePodunk mapped the top communities by percentage of population. The map and the following list show communities in which 1,000 or more people listed an ancestry group, and in which at least 70 percent of those people said they were of African-American ancestry.
